The International Association of Facilitators (IAF) Asia has recently announced a community outreach award as part of their forthcoming The 12th Annual IAF Asia Facilitator Conference with the theme: GEAR up for the future! The conference will be held in Taipei, Taiwan on August 28 to 31, 2009. Instead of having just a series of meetings and presentations, the Committee decided to include a Community Outreach Expo and award prize!
If you or the firms you represent have done community facilitation, you are invited to demonstrate your project’s excellence to the conference participants. Try and share what you’ve achieved, learned, experienced and techniques applied and vie to win the title of “IAF Asia – Best Community Outreach Award”. Want to join?
Participation is easy; here are the steps to follow:
1. Send Name, Organization, Country, and a short paragraph describing your project in Asia.
2. Prepare a poster (the size of a flip chart – approx. 80x55cm) with images, stories and whatever you believe is a compelling way to share with others the successes of your community outreach project.
Tell us for example about: The community needs; The duration of the process; Who was involved (partnering organizations); What have you done for this project (in addition to the facilitation method); What were the outcomes; What particularly inspires you about this program and how can it be replicated in other places?
3. Bring your poster to the conference. We will set up an area for your display. The Exhibits will be available for conference participants to peruse during the two days.
4. At a specified time on the agenda, conference attendees will vote with red stickers for the project they believe demonstrates excellence in community outreach through facilitation.
The winner of the most votes will win the award of one ASUS laptop computer.
If this tickled your imagination, please send your brief project descriptions to: Keli Yen:
IAF Asia Facilitator Conference Community Outreach Expo Coordinator keli@cpyen.org.
